I have a laptop which sometime goes really hot and I wanted a simple way to be able to view CPU and Hard disk temperature. I' m on SUSE 10.3 and I tried installing LM-sensors but no sensors were detected. After a very little search I found that you can view the CPU speed by using the cpufrequtils so I installed the package using Yast and executed cpufreq-info.Here is the output:

and saved it in a file named temperature.I gave it execution permission usingchmod +x temperatureand I was able to see the CPU speed and temperature and the Hard disk temperature tooby using ./temperatureand that's it.This is my output.
